Just enable outbound blocking, then be ready to be bombarded by outbound access requests. Does that mean they must automatically be avoided and replaced by another firewall? Of course not. If malware were that smart to get past all your security on the way in, and is that smart to avoid detection while running, it is smart enough to open blocked ports, imitate a legitimate program, or piggy back on the communications setup by a legitimate program.Īnd once again - most 3rd party firewalls fail Gibson's LeakTest in their default settings. Malware does not need outbound access to corrupt your system. If malware is trying to connect to the Internet, your security has already failed and the damage is done. And that is why I have trained and disciplined myself, my family, and my clients to not be "click-happy" on unsolicited links, downloads, attachments, and popups. That's why I keep my security and my OS current. That's why I already have multiple layers of security protecting my computers from incoming threats and from malicious activity running on my computers. If you don't know it, use WhatIsMyIP.Ĭlick to expand.I never said or implied that - nor would I. Enter the IPv4 IP address assigned to you by your ISP.
If it was, why doesn't the much more thorough ShieldsUP! from the same Steve Gibson report problems?Īnother good test is this one from Hacker Target. Show us the evidence because LeakTest alone is not it. Remember, as the documentation for Leaktest reports, most personal firewalls fail this test.

I have full confidence in mine.Īgain, if what you are suggesting were true, many 100s of millions of Windows Firewall users, as well as most 3rd party firewall users, would be compromised. If you are that worried about unauthorized "outgoing" access attempts, I suggest you re-evaluate your incoming/real-time protection. Just because it let LeakTest out, that does NOT, by any means, mean it will let "anything" go out.Īnd again, this program was deemed safe via my browser, router, two real-time anti-malware solutions (Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Premium) and the firewall on the way in. In other words, marketing fluff.Ĭlick to expand.No its not. The ONLY thing that makes 3rd party firewalls like ZoneAlarm or Comodo firewalls stand out is their extra bloat. In fact, IMO MS making it two-way is why ZoneAlarm started branching out into anti-spyware and then full security suites - people stopped using their firewall because it just was not needed.Īgain - it is easy to block ports (against unauthorized in or out access) from within the OS. Actually, beginning with XP SP2 when the integrated FW was upgraded from one-way to two-way, Windows Firewall has been very effective and more than adequate for most users. It is a powerful, two-way, stateful-packet inspection (SPI), packet-filtering firewall. Windows Firewall is actually a very robust and flexible firewall, easily and highly customizable for those that like to tinker simply by entering the "Advanced Security" menu. In fact, it is simple to block ports which is why even basic, rudimentary firewalls like TinyWall are so effective. No firewall is perfect but firewall technologies are nothing special (or proprietary) either. If anything, after market firewalls may be too aggressive in their default settings. If not, 100s of millions (billion+) computers would already be hacked. Most (including that included in Windows) are perfectly fine in their default settings.
